    My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
    One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.
    Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said,  “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
    59. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and_____.
    A. preferred to stay alone at home            B. lost interest in his studies
    C. refused to talk to others                  D. began to dislike his mother
    60. There was silence on the other end of the line because            .
    A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother
    B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking
    C. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voice
    D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother
    61. The sentence “... he even made the honor roll” means that             .
    A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting
    B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades
    C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around
    D. he was even on the list of the best students at school
    62. What is the main idea of this passage?
    A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.
    B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.
    C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.
    D. School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.

    I’m Adam Gun from Istanbul, Turkey. I’m in a good school. And at the age of 15, in my first year of high school. I’m a great fan of tennis and cycling. I play tennis twice a week for two hours each time. Sometimes I want to play more, but I just keep playing for hours on end, never getting tired of doing it. This is one of the rare things I love in my life, in addition to cycling.
    Like tennis, I find that I’m able to ride for ever and ever. Since Istanbul is made up of large and small hills, it’s a nice challenge to ride my bike every day. Although there aren’t many cycling places in Istanbul, I’m lucky enough to live near the biggest park. It’s downhill from my house to the park and I enjoy cycling up as much as floating down, because it’s challenging.
    Now I have been thinking about being a lawyer and following my father’s footsteps, but I just don’t think I’m into it. I have heard people tell me over and over again: If you want to be happy with your life, you need to like and enjoy your job. Well, I’m not sure about the fact that I will enjoy being a lawyer when I grow up. I’m just not the type of person who sits down and studies for hours. So I just need opinions on whether to become a tennis player(hopefully), to become a cyclist(hopefully) or to become a lawyer.

    【小题2】According to the passage, Adam Gun believes that cycling in Istanbul______.

    Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
    Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
    There’s a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
    Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
    Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something as I used to. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?
    【小题1】Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?

    A．His job.B．His pay.
    C．His means of transport. D．His health.
    【小题2】According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?
    A．He got higher pay.B．His working hours weren’t long.
    C．He found it very stressful. D．He had little free time at weekends.
    【小题3】After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him ____________.
    A．not to work any longer
    B．to take a long vacation abroad
    C．to stop smoking and take exercise
    D．not to eat out any more
    【小题4】What can we learn about the author?
    A．The author is not sure what he should do now.
    B．The author has taken the doctor’s advice already.
    C．The author has got another new job.
    D．The author feels much better now.
